Borgasmord Productions was named for the spoonerism uttered by child actor Mason Reese (then 7 years old) as he described the canned meat product in an Underwood Deviled Ham Commercial. He actually created the word himself - intentionally.
The character played by Brandon Cruz is named Dax Corbett in honor of his character from The Courtship of Eddies Father - Eddie Corbett.

All three actors playing Masons friends, as former band-mates are actually musicians in real life. Robbie Rist (Oliver), Brandon Cruz (Dax) and Julie Dolan (Ronnie) have or do play in bands professionally. Robbie Rist co-wrote and sings the Life Interrupted theme song.
In the party scenes, several of the background actors are actress Michael Learned's real-life grandchildren.
